While most gamers have come into problems connecting to online servers in recent months, in numerous games like Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Mortal Kombat X, there are still those titles that deliver solid multiplayer play. Call of Duty, for example, typically launches with solid matchmaking and a consistent online experience throughout its 6-month+ run. With Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, developer Treyarch is taking matchmaking to a new level, and making it more interactive and community-focused than it’s ever been before....

Activision’s and Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is currently the best selling game in Japan for the second week in a row since the shooter’s release. According to the Japanese sales tracking group Media Create, since Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 dropped on November 6, 2015, the first-person shooter has gone on to move 187,446 units for the PlayStation 4 in Japan, after it had shipped-in 143,817 units during the first week for the console....

There’s now a Black Lives Matter message whenever you boot up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and before every game. It doesn’t look like we’ve achieved racial equality and justice yet, but it does at least seem like this week of protests is accomplishing something. All four of the former officers involved in George Floyd’s death have been arrested and charged, while examples of police brutality against protestors are often being met with immediate termination....

Earlier in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3, Infinity Ward tested out a new contract type called Most Wanted, and fans weren’t happy with it. For the uninitiated, Most Wanted contracts revealed players’ locations to everyone else on the battle royale map for a limited time. If players survived long enough, they would get a big cash reward as well as the instant revival of their dead teammates. It sounds like a thrilling idea on paper, but the execution was way off....

While many Call of Duty: Warzone players love Verdansk as is, many more have been waiting patiently to see the map change in some way. Thankfully, Call of Duty: Warzone fans wanting more variety are in luck according to a new leaker. With no new points of interest added in the past few months, and Verdansk being the battle royale game’s main location for almost a year now, many believe that Call of Duty: Warzone needs a new map — or at the very least some big changes to Verdansk....

Call of Duty: Warzone’s next big update is set to go live late tonight/early tomorrow morning on December 16, depending on one’s time zone. Regardless, the big Call of Duty: Warzone update is bringing the battle royale back to Season 1, integrating it with the recently-released Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and adding a ton of content for fans to look forward to. This includes the Rebirth Island map, which is the first new Warzone map since the game launched last March....

CxCheats.net, a popular maker of cheat programs for Call of Duty, has issued an apology to players following a lawsuit by Activision, and some cheaters are wondering if they will receive a refund for contributing to the worst parts of online play. In their official Discord channel, CxCheats.net wrote a statement as a part of their lawsuit with Activision. The group stated that there will no longer be any Call of Duty programs or support offered through the website and that using third-party tools, like the ones they have sold, may result in the banning of an account by Activision....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the latest entry in the popular first-person shooter franchise, has been celebrating the release of Nuketown ‘84 with multiple playlists and a Double XP weekend. It has been a long-standing tradition for developer Treyarch to create new versions of the map in every Black Ops title, and based on a recent teaser it seems Call of Duty: Mobile will be bringing back another Nuketown variant in the near future....

Avatar: The Last Airbender boasts a wide variety of characters. Whether they’re funny, creepy, sympathetic, or just plain strange, this show had a lot of people to work with. No matter what type of person you liked, you would likely find them in Avatar. And one of the most well-known characters in the show, besides Aang himself, is likely Katara, the waterbender from the Southern Pole Water Tribe. Katara has a bit of a mixed following: some fans absolutely love her and think she’s fantastic, while others find her a bit too overbearing and dramatic....

It’s hard to believe that it has been twenty years since South Park premiered on Comedy Central and that it has just entered its 21st season and is closing in on almost 300 episodes. While no one could have predicted the show’s success, the foul mouths of Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman have resonated with America, making South Park not only one of Comedy Central’s highest rated shows of all times, but also one of the longest running animated sitcoms of all time as well....

DICE and Electronic Arts officially tease the inclusion of a new mode with the name Frontlines for its World War I-inspired first-person shooter, Battlefield 1. About a month ago, the developers for Battlefield 1 provided some details for the game’s first piece of paid post-launch content known as They Shall Not Pass, with DICE and Electronic Arts mentioning in passing the decision to include a new mode for fans called Frontlines....

Fitbit has been around for years, sitting at the top of its activity tracking class, smugly watching as its competitors hope to raise the same sort of brand awareness. For many, a fitness band is simply called “a Fitbit” - such has been the impact of this company - and it’s now been bought by Google, to add to its power. We’ve broken down each of the Fitbit trackers, looking at how much each costs, what features it offers and why you might consider buying each one....

This article contains Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness spoilers If box-office receipts are any indication, you’ve probably watched Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness at least once. You may have loved it, thrilled by Sam Raimi’s wild direction and its gnarly imagery. Or you may have hated it, disappointed by its nonsensical plot decisions and waste of talented actors.

Starfield’s reveal trailer was done completely in-engine and without the use of any cinematic tools. A post on ArtStation by a senior lighting artist at Bethesda, Keith Beltramini, showcased some screenshots from the reveal trailer and talked about the overall process behind the trailer and his role on the team. In the post, Keith said, “I created the lighting for the 2021 teaser trailer of Starfield. Using our own Creation Engine 2, we created this entirely in-game without any cinematic tools....

This Better Call Saul review contains spoilers. Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 7 At first glance, Howard Hamlin and Lalo Salamanca couldn’t seem more different. One is a respected lawyer and an upstanding member of his community, while the other is a lethal member of the cartel — they’re worlds apart. However, in the context of “Plan and Execution,” the mid-season finale of Better Call Saul’s final season, they start to feel a lot alike....

As 2020 rattles on, slowly bringing more and more lousy news, people are starting to declare the year itself has been canceled. A popular Tik Tok showed a history teacher in the future telling his class now they’re done with 2019, they’ll move on to 2021. “What happened to 2020?” the student asks. “We don’t talk about 2020.” Still, with all the madness swirling around us in 2020, one thing has been a shining glimmer of light: television....

Leaked audio from the Zombies Royale game in Black Ops Cold War has revealed a lot of surprising details — including new zombie-related objectives. The Call of Duty community is brimming with leakers, insiders, and lore fans who have been providing the world with behind-the-scenes views at what is going to be in the game. We’ve known for a while, for example, that Cold War is going to come with a zombies game thanks to these leakers....

It’s clear that FromSoftware wanted Covenants to play a big role in Dark Souls, but they’ve never been implemented particularly well. After Demon’s Souls more or less let players run wild and free, Dark Souls introduced Covenants as a means of uniting sects of players under a singular banner. Unfortunately, the cumbersome and confusion rooted in Covenants have left fans cold on the concept ever since. Bloodborne’s interpretation of the concept isn’t much better for what it’s worth....
